Beginning with STAF 2.5.0 and later, you can use a TEXT option on a FS COPY FILE or GET FILE request (or TEXTEXT options on a FS COPY DIRECTORY request) to convert line-endings between Windows and Unix and to convert between codepages if necessary. See the “File System (FS) Service” section of the STAF User’s Guide for more information.
